The lithium-CO2 battery has been proposed as an advanced concept for missions to Mars or Venus, planets with carbon dioxide atmospheres. The author discusses the initial evaluation of gold as a catalyst for the cathodic reduction of carbon dioxide in molten lithium carbonate. An attempt is then made to rationalize the experimental results by proposing a phenomenological model for the sequence of reactions at and around the electrode. Finally, inferences are made as to the viability of gold as a cathode catalyst for the proposed battery
